Man-made underground passage in Ballyglass (kilconnell By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Ballyglass ringfort in North Galway still holds an L-shaped underground chamber, its stone sides visible through grass and its narrow arm turning sharply north. The passage may have stored grain, hidden people during storms, or served a household whose name vanished before written history began. A large rectangular slab lies nearby, perhaps a cover, a marker, or a table for transactions no longer remembered.

In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA086-039----). What is visible is a grassy L-shaped depression (L 19.3m). The long axis (L 10.8m, Wth 4.2m), running ESE-WNW, has quite a lot of stone visible in its sides and base. The short axis (L 8.5m, Wth 3.8m) extends off W end and turns sharply to N, running NNE-SSW. This section averages 3.8m in width and is up to 1.6m in depth. Directly to N of this depression, there is a large rectangular slab on the ground surface. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
